§ 4. Mr. PONSONBYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the proposed changes in the constitution of the Egyptian Legislative Council, foreshadowed in the President's opening speech on 16th November last, have yet been communicated to His Majesty's Government; and, if so, whether he can inform the House of the nature and extent of the changes and when they are likely to be put into execution?
§ Sir E. GREYThe answer is in the negative. I have nothing at present to 2071 add to the replies which I gave to questions on this subject on 5th, 21st, and 27th November.
§ Mr. PONSONBYHas the right hon. Gentleman seen a report of the speech of the President?
§ Sir E. GREYI have only read a short summary. I have not read a report of it.
